Jail
#18786297 - 09/01/13 05:58 PM (10 years, 8 months ago) |

Seriously considering turning myself in for a warrant I've had for a couple years now in a different county that I forgot about on tuesday..I really need my drivers license so..meh I guess its time to get this out of the way..
Violated probation basically just stopped talking to them...It was a class B misdeamoner (texas) poss. of marijuana..
How much time am I looking at?
I already did 30 days in jail as a condition of probation, and completed maybe 4 months of probation before I stopped talking to them. They suspended my license and the county was a good hour n half from where I lived so..it just became to impossible.
What should I say?
Apparently the original judge that sentenced me has retired...

Get a fucking lawyer and do exactly what he says. Even if you're broke, work out a deal. Texas? To me that's fucking scary but if you've already spent 30 days in jail I guess you know what you're up against.
Best of luck.

It's all dependent on the state. I couldn't imagine you having to do much more time.. or any time at all for that offense but once again, it can vary dramatically from state to state.. Talk to a lawyer for sure.

Good advice 
yeah they really fucked me over the first time around, somehow got sentenced over the maximum (one year probation + 30 days county + 1500 fine)...
I did miss my courtdate though..
Damn out of town courts

Damn, they take FTAs to a new level in my county. I've never missed court but it can definitely fuck with sentencing.
Hope all works out, man. Definitely talk to a lawyer and ask their advice. They know much more about sentencing than anyone on here. I wouldn't sweat it. Sounds seriously minor and you're looking to correct it.

This thread was moved from The Pub.
Reason: More topical.
I'd suggest you find a lawyer local to the court your warrant is out of and retain him to represent you. Hopefully he can arrange a low bond if you surrender, and he'll be better able to tell you what you're facing than any of us.

Since you've got time, I highly recommend you get your shit together financially as best you can. Get your shit in storage, get affairs in order, get money together for family to send you stuff/money for commissary depending on how much time you gotta do. Definitely lawyer up.

Make an Amazon wishlist for your family. You won't be able to bring books in with you and depending on how big the prison is, it's probably gonna have a really shitty library of donated books from local churches. Most prisons have a policy requiring books must be received in brand new condition from the publisher for inmates to receive them, FYI.
If you're in a low-to-medium security place, just keep to yourself. Nobody wants any trouble because turning 6 weekends into 6 months straight for punching someone in the face over a hot dog is fucking stupid.

This.
Books are everything in jail. At least they were for me when I was there. Reading books is the absolute best way to pass the time relatively painlessly. The jail library likely sucks balls, so if you have people send you books you want (HAVE TO BE BRAND NEW SHIPPED STRAIGHT FROM THE PUBLISHER AS MENTIONED),this is one of the best options.
Also hopefully you have someone that can regularly put money in your canteen/commissary fund. Jail food sucks, hard.. and they usually don't give you enough of it. Canteen snacks/food make ALL the difference, and you can't get it unless you have someone from the outside putting money into your funds... or trading other people for it. You can also use canteen food to trade for other shit.
Keep a low profile and keep to yourself, be respectful and don't fuck with anyone and no one will fuck with you in general.
